Dental Surgery
Dental surgery includes several procedures that are performed to address the oral health problem faced by patients, conditions which need to be treated from the root. Some of the conditions include an impacted wisdom tooth, tooth loss, root canal and many others. Dental surgery is usually recommended to eradicate the problem from the root.
The types of dental surgeries include: -
-
Dental implants
A metal post is implanted surgically in place of the missing tooth to form a foundation for the placement of the artificial tooth.
-
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
It involves the treatment of jaw-related injuries, a chipped off tooth, bleeding gums and other defects. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are known as caregivers for your mouth, head and jaws.
Gum Diseases
Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums due to the accumulation of bacteria and dental plaque. It is highly common but largely preventable. Owing to the build-up of plaque and tartar, it infects the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. This infection causes the tooth to loosen and eventual loss of the tooth.
There are two types of gum diseases, namely, Gingivitis and Periodontitis
Gingivitis: - Gingivitis is a disease caused due to the accumulation of bacteria. The symptoms include reddening, swelling of the gums and incessant bleeding. Gingivitis left untreated over a short period of time progresses to Periodontitis.
Periodontitis: - At this stage, the tooth separates from the gum and the plaque moves down below the gums. If it goes unnoticed, Periodontitis also causes bone destruction that is irreversible in nature.
Symptoms to identify gum disease
- Tender gums that bleed
- Receding Gums

Root Canal
The Root Canal procedure is one treatment feared by many however, it is no more uncomfortable than sitting for a filling. It is, in fact, one of the most effective ways to relieve tooth pain.
What is a Root Canal? How does it help?
The cavity or space at the center of the tooth is called a root canal. Also called, the
Endodontic treatment, it is a procedure to disinfect, clean and fill the roots of the teeth.
Inflammation of the root canal takes place because of untreated tooth decay, spreading
of the tooth cavity that damages the pulp tissue and works its way towards the center of
the tooth. The inflamed pulp tissue can be extremely painful and the root canal treatment
not only eliminates the pain, but also deals with the cause of the pain. It attempts to save
the natural tooth instead of having to deal with the problems that appear when your tooth
is removed.
The steps taken during the treatment include: -
- Removing of the nerves and pulp
- Cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the infected area
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridge is the medical term for the commonly known term ‘False Tooth’. Also called a pontic, the dental bridge can be made of any material such as gold or a combination of materials. Most people prefer porcelain as it blends with the natural set of teeth.
The dental bridge is typically made up of crowns on both sides of the gap with a false tooth in the middle. Two of the many types of dental bridges are: -
- Traditional: - A false tooth is held in place by the dental crowns and can be used when the patient has natural teeth on either side.
- Cantilever Dental Bridge: -- For the placement of the false tooth, the dental crown is cemented to only one abutment tooth.
For how long do dental bridges last?
It depends on the type of bridge. With good oral hygiene, a dental bridge can last for 5
years or more.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are one of the safest ways to replace missing teeth with permanent artificial teeth. For those looking for a long-lasting solution, dental implants help preserve the tooth-supporting bone that tends to naturally deteriorate once the tooth is lost.
A dental implant procedure doesn’t take weeks like before, with the support of modern -day technology, implants are done in less than a week. A screw-shaped titanium post is implanted to replace the root of the tooth into the jawbone and a white color crown is implanted and custom-made to blend with the set of natural teeth.
Dental implants can be replaced for a single tooth and sometimes for the complete set of teeth. There are two types of dental implants, namely, Endosteal and Subperiosteal.
